I felt sorry for HC. I figured they didn’t know any better. No wonder they have no traction.

Did anybody learn from this stumble? Not the LA Times. It unveiled an arts blog titled Culture Monster, in flagrant disregard of the Monster dear to the hearts of the visual art online community, C-Monster, which is, of course, a hipper version of the same thing.

Why, LA Times, why? It suggests you don’t know C-Monster is out there, which makes you amazingly out of it. You could have asked around. Checked your Google links. Called an art critic. (Where was Christopher Knight?) Failing all that, you’re starting in a hole. The only way to stop digging down is to acknowledge the gaff. We await your apology. Make it good.
